Magico vs the world
Another shameless rave review, with measurements to back it up, can you imagine? It’s a travesty! https://soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1399-magico-a1-loudspeakers  
Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences
Because of their high frq noise, Class D amps can be a problem for tweeters with wide band frequency response and high frequency break up. Excess energy (not music related) can cause the breakup to induce distortion.  
Magico vs the world
@ricred1 It is all in the context, you are discreet, and not mentioning brands, but this thread is about Magico and dznytz does mention the brand, so it would have been helpful if he shared more insight on his experience and give his view, that wa... 
Magico vs the world
Oh, my bad, I thought you were trying to convince the OP that Magico is not worth having, and you had to buy it 3 times to make sure of it. That is a good one!

@daveyf Seriously? Thin sounding, ’ok’ imaging, one-trick pony??Where did you hear the M2? It’s ok to dislike a brand you never heard, but why the fiction?It’s not like many here have never heard the M2, or the M6, which is anything but thin and i... 
Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
why it took so very long for Dave W to come to the realization that the old tweeter was such a weak part of his design. LOL, the "realization" came when Focal stop selling OEM drivers to competitors. Many of the older Wilson drivers were made by ... 
So what's the better deal (honestly)?
Sure, that is why we all stand in line to buy your speakers!  
So what's the better deal (honestly)?
A set of 6 Steelpoint Ultra 6 will cost you ~$5500. Most of my audio pals, who use Wilson, use 8 of these (!!), and that is after the surcharge on paint ;)
